A meta-analysis of five clinical trials shows a significant improvement in liver function in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) when supplementing with Vitamin E.

Vitamin E was found to improve “serum biochemical parameters and hepatic histology”. Improvements in inflammation, ballooning and hepatic fibrosis were also seen.

NAFLD is becoming a global public health issue with the increase in worldwide obesity and metabolic syndrome. NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatisis), a form of NAFLD has been linked with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (the most common type of liver cancer) and liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
